A historic streetcar suburb, this is where the rich people lived before they moved on to Bexley to the east. Still undergoing gentrification, there are some really nice areas. It's so hard to think we left neighborhoods like this for dead.

The neighborhood association wanted this guy to take his sign down because it doesn't fit in with the style of the neighborhood.

Not an uncommon sight to see rainbow flags here.

Condo conversion fell through leaving this building in limbo years later.

Demolished for a grass lot fronting a parking lot.

The philanthropy organization behind the demolition which states that no one wanted it.

Amazing mansion, you'd be looking at several million were you to try building this from scratch today.

Over to Franklin Park.

Not on tour, but I had to include it.

Franklin Park

The neighborhood of Franklin Park is anchored (and overshadowed) by the park of same name which is home to the city's conservatory. While the commercial streets of Main and Oak both leave much to be desired, the neighborhood boasts some impressive residential streets that have made quite a comeback while everyone's attention was on Olde Towne East. I didn't even get Franklin Park's stretch of Bryden St, which basically looks like the ones already included: Franklin Park W, Franklin Park S, Franklin Ave, and Rhoads Ave.

I really can't tell you how appreciative I am that you're showing Columbus's underrated neighborhoods. I'm a Cincinnati native, but if I ever moved back to Ohio, Columbus would be at the top of the list
